Customer service and food were absolutely amazing. OSJ is under construction so the dining room wasn't open but definitely give them a try as they offer wonderfully made vegan dishes with so much flavor. My husband and I will definitely be back!

Makes me feel like I'm back in Cuban territory. Born and raised in Tampa Florida. Haven't been in a while, but craving the food here now.

Authentic Puerto Rican food. I ordered a beef empanada with white rice. Empanada was filled generously with beef. The rice was done just right! Husband loved his fried pork. I tasted my daughter's huge, garlicky tostones. Delish! Son in law showed me his arroz con gandules. Yep,it had the olives, red peppers ( no heat) with pork crackling. Place is undergoing remodeling. We took our orders as takeout. It was worth the trip!

Good food but disappointing that this restaurant no longer has their dining room open and the food took a long time for carry out. Used to love their food prior to the pandemic, especially their lunch specials. Suggest you call ahead well in advance before you pick up unless you have a lot of time to waste.

It was so. Freaking. Good. Im Mexican/puerto rican and my husband is just barely getting to tap into his PR side. Ive been begging to go here for a year now and we finally went. He got the shrimp mofongo and i got bistec. They ran out of tostones but thats okay. Just get there earlier! It was so good and tastes like home. It was poppin too. Id say get there early to not miss out on things that run out. I wouldn't personally dock them for that because that means business is good. I cant wait till they reopen the restaurant side. She said that they're renovating it. Anyways, can't wait to go back and take my mom!

Got the pasteles. Very good. Take out only? The restaurant part was closed and blocked off, don't know why. The girl who helped me was very friendly.

I tried the Bandeja Paisa that has some missing ingredients compared with the original Colombian recipe but the taste is amazing.Also the serving size is generous so much so you won’t need the missing ingredients that I told you at the beginning. One more thing is only to take out but definitely I’ll come back.

Great food, make sure you try their "Coquito " and of course "Pasteles " during the holidays.

OMG I have been going to OSJ since they just opened up in their first location next to what is now the Tilted Rock. I had never had Puerto Rican food until then. That was over 10 years ago. Needless to say, they are forever going to be a staple in my life!! The FLAVORS ay dios mio, The BEST! MOFONGO WHAT? And then TRIFONGO!! When they moved to a larger spot, I was so happy for them because their clientele sure was growing. Can't blame them. Everything on the menu is amazing. The service is top notch!! I love you Carla!! Your family is blessing everyone with the love they have in the food they make and share with us all!! The Latin vibes walking in with the music and dimly lit room, I like it. They aren't dine in capable right now due to staff shortage but that isn't stopping me from ordering. I'm excited for you to open back up fully and will always support your family business!!

Bistec encebollado. That's all you need to know! There's beauty in simplicity. Oh, and they have an entire vegan section for the vegan people out there, so if you're vegan, check that out. If not, I implore you to get the steak and onion dish.

This place is a hidden vegan treasure! They have an entirely separate vegan menu! The cashier was very friendly and explained how the chef decided to make Puerto Rican vegan food to accommodate people who came in requesting plant based options. She even said to let them know if there was any other dish they can veganize. This was my first time trying Puerto Rican food so I had to ask about the dishes and the lady was super informative. Definitely recommend this place.
